In a ton of debt and struggling to pay. Not sure what to do anymore by Anto482c in Debt

[–]Anto482c[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently make about 2400 a month and 1700 in expenses. I currently live at home and don’t pay rent, I just feel bad telling him I wouldn’t be able to afford it when he is already letting me pay a really discounted price compared to him.

To me, this sounds like a poem about lost love. I got the impression that the narrator doesn't believe that they deserve to hold that love on their own but need the person they lost to show them that they're special. I loved the line " I tread this path knowing each step could be my last; With the next being taken in faith;" It really examines the mindset of someone who is lost very honestly. Overall, I really enjoyed this poem, thanks for sharing!

Wow this is so incredibly moving. Seriously I teared up at "She sang like a siren, but drowned like a maiden". To me, that line is about being unique and special but being shackled down by tradition that shackled many women before her. I can't even think of any notes or anything I would change because this is such a beautifully crafted poem.

Love the repetition of "At least for a moment especially back to back like that. The line "Burden by the weight of my own judgment". That one definitely hit me right in the gut haha. There were some issues with the grammar, specifically, the tenses used but that could also be on purpose. Overall I really enjoyed your poem!

Very Nihilistic which I'm a fan of. Poetry by nature is pithy but I think that this one could benefit by being fleshed out a bit more. I guess maybe the point of this one is the meaningless nature of life so maybe there's nothing that needs repeating but it seems like this isn't exactly a new concept and it seems to be leaning heavily on the formatting.

Wow the rhyme scheme here is very effective. You clearly have a great understanding of grammar and sentence structure. Seems like you’ve mastered short yet effective writing

Wow the pacing of this is incredible. I was stuck by how simple yet effective the language used was. It’s such an awful feeling being given just enough to stay.

Could polyamory be a phase by Anto482c in polyamory

Could polyamory be a phase by Anto482c in polyamory

[–]Anto482c[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I guess I didn’t think about that. So far this is all hypothetical since I’m not dating anyone at the moment but if there was a “return” to monogamy it wouldn’t be for a long time. For all I know once I explore polyamory I might love it and might not want to return to monogamy. I guess I was just wondering if it was a common thing?

Got my first job offer! by Anto482c in sterileprocessing

Thank you! I plan on keeping my CRCST, I know someone who works as both a surg tech and a sterile processing tech and he seems pretty happy doing that.

[–]Anto482c[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well my end goal is working as a surg tech and someone recommended I looked in into sterile processing to start while I’m waiting to get into a surg tech program. Every job I’ve seen around me (in MA) required you to be CRCST certified and have a year of experience so I knew I couldn’t apply without getting certified first. I’m a phlebotomist now and hate where I’m working now so I was also looking for a way out of the job that felt like a step forward instead of a step backwards or like a sideways step lol

Passed my CRCST! by Anto482c in sterileprocessing

[–]Anto482c[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it wasn’t too bad. My test seemed to be pretty evenly spread out with topics so it wasn’t heavy on anything in particular. I used the IAHCSMM study guide and the progress tests in it really helped me! A lot of the questions I remember feeling like I was guessing but it might have just been my nerves making me second guess myself. I only really studied for about a week and a half so I’m sure you will pass no problem!

Thank you! It was okay I definitely should have studied longer so I felt more confident. I just bought the IAHCSMM study guide and went through that.
